"What is there to do on Treasure Island?"
"It is said that it is also a tourist place, there should be many good attractions."
"This is a layman, but I heard that the snacks there are simply unparalleled."
...
On the plane, everyone was in high spirits. When it comes to the international youth competition in Baodao, everyone doesn't seem nervous at all.
Including Director Takeda, it seems that the victory is in hand.
The island nation's ranking in the World Series, although it has rarely won championships in the past two years.
But because they go all out almost every time, the overall ranking is not bad.
Didn't win the championship, basically the second and third place.
In terms of points, it is 60 points higher than the North American side.
Temporarily ranked first in the world.
Baseball Kingdom North America, ranked second in the world.
The place they are going to, that is, the treasure island, is now the third largest in the world.
In fourth place is Cuba.
In fifth place is South Korea.
Looking at this ranking, you can basically estimate it.
Even in the five major baseball holy places, the strength gap is huge.
Generally speaking, North America is regarded as the first echelon. Their strength is above other teams.
They are followed by island nations, treasure islands, South Korea and Cuba.
Strictly speaking, the strength gap between the first-line teams in these places is not very big.
In these places, the strength of island countries is relatively higher.
Especially at this stage of high school, the island country is basically the first in the world.
In the world-class baseball game, there has always been such a statement.
The youth team will look at the treasure island, the youth team will look at the island country, and the adult team will look at North America.
North America has the most classic major sports league in the world.
This is absolutely unmatched by others.
Baodao has improved its ranking in recent years, jumping to the third position in the world.
But they are very good, and it is not something that happens after the world rankings go up.
As early as when they were ranked fifth and sixth in the world, their little friends often won championships in the World Series.
In North America, in the youth baseball team, except for the legendary Dream Team.
Other times, not so much.
This has a lot to do with their technical characteristics.
Treasure Island, Island Country, South Korea.
The strength of the team composed of these Asians is of course a very important part, but they are even more outstanding in the application of tactics and skills.
On the North American side, more emphasis is placed on the training of individual players.
After all, baseball is also a sport. It has polished physical fitness to a peak level, and integrated swing and defense into its own marrow.
North American players who believe in this kind of baseball may not be able to fully demonstrate their strength in their youth.
But in adulthood, their strong physiques are paired with honed skills.
The strength is completely incomparable!
Said so much, in fact, to instill a concept for everyone.
The reason why these players on the plane are so easy is not without reason.
First of all, they are the strongest group of people in this age group.
Because of the existence of Koshien, the island country is well-known in the world in high school baseball.
Secondly, these players also have enough confidence in their own strength.
12 Heavenly Kings, Great Demon Kings, and an endless stream of masters from all walks of life...
As far as the current era of the island nation is concerned, it is definitely an unprecedented era of superstars.
In the media, they are directly called the super platinum generation.
Their strength can be imagined.
Gathering all of their top star players together, is there any reason not to win such a game?
certainly.
The reason why everyone is so confident has a lot to do with Sawamura's previous expedition to North America with the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Before that, the island nation's players had not been so proud.
Although their strength is indeed very strong, but they do not know what kind of standard foreign players are?
In this case, they certainly have no way to yield.
But not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods. Previously, Sawamura Eijun led the Qingdo High School baseball players on an expedition to North America and played a game with the most prestigious dream team in North America.
As far as that game was concerned, the Qingdao High School baseball team was not inferior at all, and there was no shame at all.
To put it bluntly, in terms of the situation at the time, the two sides were evenly matched.
It was that game that gave other players in the island country endless confidence.
Just a few pieces of rotten green onions of the Qingdao High School baseball team led by the great devil Sawamura can achieve such results.
If these guys played together, how could the record be so bad?
"Aren't you too optimistic?"
Of course, not everyone is so optimistic. Miyuki, who has played against those guys in North America, is more worried.
People watch the game, and generally all their passion is burned on the score.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Let's wait until we meet a powerful opponent."
It's not just Sawamura who thinks this way, but Supervisor Takeda also thinks the same. In fact, when he came out, Director Takeda once said such things to the players under him, but almost all of them did not answer.
Supervisor Takeda's original words are that everyone must be careful, and must not have any negligence.
Although our strength is indeed relatively strong, the current era is an era of highly developed and transparent information technology.
Many of our games can be found online, especially about Sawamura. Almost every school he goes to, the school cafeteria is empty.
Because of the existence of the Jiaziyuan Competition, it is not difficult for the other party to understand them.
Perhaps at the beginning, they did not weigh the strength of the island nation, and they might have been negligent.
Once here, the island nation begins to fully demonstrate its strength.
They said they wanted to hide it, but it was impossible to hide it.
Not to mention North America, which is their biggest competitor, because Sawamura Eden had previously taken his friends from the Qingdo High School baseball team on an expedition there.
They didn't know the big devil. Before they were ashamed and brave, when Qingdao High School's baseball expedition to North America, they lost all face, this time through cooperation and development.
"Forget the soldiers coming to block the water and cover the soil, it's useless for us to worry here, let's enjoy it."
Sawamura Eijun closed his eyes as he spoke.
Although he said that, but he was very clear in his heart.
On this side of the island country, I am afraid it may not be so smooth.
As far as Sawamura knows, there are not a few outstanding baseball players who have emerged during this period of time.
Not just in island nations.
Treasure Island, Cuba, Europe...
There are a lot of outstanding players from all over the world.
With the North American Dream Team as the core, the players at this stage are called "Blowout Years".
This also means that everyone officially recognizes their existence.
Everyone admits that the players who have entered professional baseball in recent years are very good.
There was also such a saying, from the 1990s to the beginning of this century.
Human lifespan and physical fitness ushered in a huge leap.
For example, the overall average life expectancy of the original human beings was more than 50 years old.
It's basically seventy or eighty now.
In sports, records are broken one after another.
Specifically on the baseball field, more and more talented players have emerged recently.
The strength of their strength is not even ordinary people can imagine.
The sudden emergence of so many talented players on the baseball field is probably also affected by this.
Looking at the friends around, who were still chatting and laughing, Sawamura Eijun really didn't know what to say.
Some things, even if he said it bitterly now, would not have any effect in the future.
Everyone must be doing something. This is human nature.
If they don't feel the pain, they won't fully understand.
Although Sawamura Eijun was worried, he never showed the slightest on the surface.
After all, these things may also be his unfounded worries.
Players in the blowout year began to become famous in the draft.
In the end, as the performance of those players got better and better, the name of the blowout year became bigger and bigger.
There is still a long time before that period, and Eijun Sawamura can't guarantee that this will happen.
He told everyone in advance, and there was no evidence.
Besides, in case these guys haven't awakened by now.
Isn't that a big oolong?
Baseball players, especially good baseball players, can quickly hit a wall.
This is almost every good player, will encounter.
After several hours of flying, the plane stopped in Taipei City.
"Warmly welcome friends from all over the world to come to Baodao to participate in the competition..."
When they got off the plane, they saw the sponsor's banner.
"This way, this way."
Along with the banner, there was a handsome young man who led the way.
"Let's go to the hotel to rest first. Sorry, the translator has not come yet. Does anyone of you speak English? English?"
Of course there are those who can speak English, but there are very few who can communicate fluently in English.
"Lead the way! We! Follow!"
Sawamura Eijun stepped forward and made a simple gesture.
His language talent is average. Although he has followed his agent before, he has simply learned some Chinese.
But still can't tell.
Later, I consulted an expert, and my listening skills have improved a lot.
The method taught by the master is very simple, only need to memorize a few hundred simple words. Then combine the scene at that time and the tone of the other party.
Even if you guess, you can basically understand what the other party means?
At the beginning, Sawamura Eijun didn't quite believe it.
Later, I gritted my teeth and really memorized these hundreds of simple words.
Since then, he has communicated with friends in mainland China and with his agent.
The other party can speak in Chinese, and he can basically understand it.
Then he expressed it in English.
Or use these hundreds of simple words to express yourself.
Fluent conversation certainly won't work, but simple communication is fine.
The more exchanges like this, the more Chinese Sawamura understands. Chen Ping had just joined the school before, and Sawamura had comforted him in Chinese.
"You can speak Chinese, that's great!"
The person in charge of the organizer breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the players from the island country to the hotel.
In the process of going to the hotel, everyone looked around and saw a lot of small shops.
Some of these small shops sell merchandise and general merchandise. More of that kind of specialty store.
Even through the glass window, you can smell the fragrant smell.
"These foods must be good."
Kuramochi asserted.
Sawamura Eijun had no doubts about this at all.
This can almost be regarded as the culture of Baodao.
Whether they are shopping or eating, they are very convenient.
No matter where your friends live, just walk downstairs, at most one or two blocks away.
Basically everything can be solved.
Whether you want to eat or buy something, it's the same.
This kind of environment is quite attractive to small partners.
"After the game is over, be sure to have a good time here."
At this time, some friends have begun to discuss things after the game.
"How can there be so much freedom? When the game is over, it's almost time to start school This is something that can't be helped!"
While lamenting their own suffering, everyone proudly showed off.
After all, other people want to be as miserable as they are, and there is no chance yet.
Humans are really strange creatures.
After returning to the hotel, the guide is going back.
Before leaving, I will inform everyone to be ready tomorrow afternoon, and the next morning.
The opening ceremony and group draw will be held.
For a total of one week, a total of 13 teams competed against each other.
The one who can stay last is the first in the world.
Because the ranking is relatively high, the selection is a single-round knockout.
Therefore, the island country, North America, and Treasure Island, these three teams did not have to fight at all at the beginning.
Advance directly to the top 8.
The remaining 10 teams competed against each other, winning 5 teams and forming the top eight teams with these three teams.
Then catch the pair and fight, and the pk goes down one after another.
The last team left is the world number one.
This rule is quite reasonable, combined with the seed selection system and the actual situation of each team.
It looks very nice.
Everyone is very satisfied with this assignment. After thinking about leaving, everyone rested in the hotel. While resting, they were also discussing their opponents this time, North America, Cuban Treasure Island, Han, and the characteristics of these teams. What exactly is it? What kind of strength do they have? Everyone took them out and compared them one by one, and then analyzed them. The results of the analysis were relatively favorable to them. For such things, the supervisors of Foton were very familiar with them, and the assistant coaches were also very skilled. The materials they brought out were very professional. , And for Kazuma Sawamura, these things are very unfamiliar to them before, although they have won the championship before but still.
